Food Wars!: God's Tongue is no match for me.

"Let me use my God Tongue ability to recreate Lin Xu's Sapporo Ramen!" After calming down, Erina Nakiri began to prepare to make ramen.

Chapter 30 Even the Tongue of God Has Times That Cannot Be Understood

Two cloves of garlic.

1 piece of ginger.

1 scallion.

1 tablespoon of toasted white sesame seeds.

1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

100 grams of minced meat.

3 tablespoons of miso, which is about 45 ml.

1 tablespoon of sugar.

1 tablespoon of sake.

1000 ml of simmered stock.

1 teaspoon of salt.

0.25 teaspoons, approximately 1 gram of white pepper powder.

……

these things.

The broth used to make Sapporo ramen.

Mince the garlic, ginger, and onion; prepare everything in advance.

after that.

Then grind the sesame seeds into powder.

Leave some sesame seeds as a garnish for the ramen.

Take a medium-sized pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat, and add minced garlic, minced ginger, and minced scallions.

The cast iron pot gleamed with an amber light, and the sesame oil from Hokkaido melted into liquid gold at the bottom of the pot.

The moment the minced onion, ginger, and garlic fell into the oil, Erina's left hand gripped the cast iron pot handle and began to vibrate rapidly!

Vegetable bits danced a waltz in a 180°C heat field.

When Erina added the minced meat and continued heating over medium heat, the arc drawn by the spatula was as precise as a compass, and each piece of vegetable was coated with a thin film of oil as thin as a cicada's wing.

Add miso.

Mix well with the meat before it gets burnt.

Finally, add sake and chicken broth.

When stir-fried vegetables meet in the pot with double broth.

A cautious and serious light flickered in Erina's eyes!

She quickly inserted the soup spoon into the center of the vortex and stirred it counterclockwise a few times, allowing the collagen from the pork bone and the inosinic acid from the chicken frame to construct a umami matrix in the fluid dynamics.

Once the soup boils, add salt and white pepper to taste.

……

Prepare another pot.

Pour in water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Put some hot water into the bowl to heat it up, and drain the water from the bowl before adding the cooked noodles.

Loosen the fresh noodles and add char siu, ramen egg, stir-fried bean sprouts, corn kernels, white onion, chopped green onion, and a piece of nori seaweed.

Prepare a small dish of pickled red ginger, chili oil, and white pepper powder.

Followed by.

It's just boiling noodles.

Erina usually cooks the noodles to be very chewy.

After the noodles are cooked, quickly scoop them out with a sieve, add them to the ramen broth, and top with the prepared toppings.

And just like that, a bowl of Sapporo ramen is complete!

……

"Lecturer Lin."

"This is Sapporo ramen made according to your recipe."

Erina placed a steaming bowl of ramen in front of Lin Xu on the podium, blinked, and then said expectantly.

Listen carefully.

Her tone.

He was less arrogant than before.

After spending several time with Lin Xu, she gradually realized that there was still a gap between them.

"34 minutes and 26 seconds, that's the time it takes you to make this bowl of Sapporo ramen."

Lin Xu didn't immediately look at the fragrant bowl of Sapporo ramen in front of him, but instead glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

"It can be even faster."

"But... there are one or two steps in the recipe on the whiteboard that I find a bit puzzling."

"After much deliberation, we decided to adopt your approach, which is why the production time was a bit slower."

Upon hearing this, Erina quickly offered an explanation.

“Not slow anymore.”

In China, there's a saying: "Haste makes waste."

"Besides, I know exactly where you might have doubts."

After saying that, Lin Xu picked up the chopsticks and spoon next to him, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it to cool it down, and prepared to taste it.

……

There is a saying.

It is widely known in the culinary world.

It's said that Chinese people pay attention to the chewiness of noodles, while Japanese people pay attention to the broth.

This statement profoundly reveals the unique preferences and somewhat obsessive pursuit of noodle culture between the two countries.

Lin Xu's Sapporo-style ramen dish can be said to have pushed the Japanese people's attention to broth to a whole new and ultimate level!

The noodles in that bowl.

Each root is distinct.

The thickness is uniform.

They unfurled in the broth.

But what's truly appealing isn't just the noodles, but the enticing aroma of the broth in the bowl.

Lin Xu brought his nose close and smelled the small spoonful of ramen soup. A rich miso aroma instantly wafted up, mixed with the subtle savory flavor of pork and chicken bones, making his mouth water.

Suck!

Take a sip.

The taste, without exaggeration...

Even if you eat something else, you won't taste anything, and drinking water won't help either.

Therefore, this was the first question that puzzled Erina when she was making the ramen broth:

Why is this soup so salty?

……

"Soup."

"Indeed, it's rich and savory."

"But it's not greasy, and the texture is very rich."

"Besides the delicious miso, you can also taste the umami flavor of the pork bone broth and chicken carcass that form the soup base."

"With one sip of the soup, the flavors dance wildly on the tip of your tongue, then slowly slide down your throat, leaving a lingering fragrance that is unforgettable."

After finishing his drink, Lin Xu closed his eyes and began to savor and analyze the taste of the soup.

after that.

Add another spoonful of soup.

This time, add a small piece of char siu pork.

Everyone knows that the characteristics of char siu pork are that it has distinct layers, very little fat, and the soup and meat are eaten together.

The miso broth and meat blend perfectly in your mouth, creating a melt-in-your-mouth sensation!

Followed by.

Take another bite of the hard-boiled egg.

Egg yolks and whites help restore the sense of taste.

Afterwards, eat bamboo shoots, corn, or other foods to cut through the richness.

Repeat this process until you finish the soup. At this point, you'll have a magical feeling of being full but not quite, and wanting to eat more.

……

"This way of eating..."

"This is the first time I've ever seen this!"

When Erina saw Lin Xu eating Sapporo ramen in this way, she was inevitably stunned.

She began to think hard about what his intention was in eating like this.

"Could it be..."

"Isn't it possible?"

"If that's really the case, then this bowl of Sapporo ramen has definitely surpassed the level that even the Tongue of God couldn't reach!"

As Erina pondered this, a sudden inspiration struck her, and she exclaimed incredulously.

Finally, Lin Xu started eating his noodles.

And it's the kind where you open your mouth wide and eat noodles in big gulps.

The advantage of eating noodles after drinking the soup is that you won't burn your mouth, and you can eat noodles in big bites. If you feel that the miso soup is hindering the recovery of your taste buds while eating noodles, you can eat an egg.

Therefore, Lin Xu also ate two eggs during this process!

Time flies.

The bowl of Sapporo noodles was quickly finished.

The feeling of fullness is very pleasant, and one might even feel that happiness in life is nothing more than this.

……

"Whoo~"

"In the classroom."

"Although you are often distracted, I must say that you do quite well in the practical cooking courses."

"This bowl of Sapporo ramen gets my rating... the highest level, A!"

Opening his eyes, Lin Xu couldn't help but smile and say to Erina.
